Listen "Too Big To Succeed"
Episode Synopsis
"Too big to fail." We've all heard that saying, and it usually refers to the idea that once an organization gets a certain size, and becomes important to culture or society, it's too big to be allowed to fail; the life of the organization must be preserved at all costs. But that doesn't account for the problem that sometimes, the harm that the organization is doing is so bad that perhaps it ought to fail, for the very good of society.I was thinking about that problem with large organizations, in light of a potentially abusive leadership situation that recently came to light. Because I think that in some cases, it's the very size of the organization that is what causes the problems.And I think that applies to churches just as much as secular organizations. And recently, a situation with a large religious organization got me thinking that, sometimes, organizations actually get too big to succeed.You can watch this video on YouTube:https://youtu.be/2yP_L8gJ_QIRick Pidcock's two articles:https://baptistnews.com/article/allegations-against-tim-whitaker-and-the-new-evangelicals-show-how-hierarchy-transfers-to-progressive-ministries/https://baptistnews.com/article/that-time-i-got-an-angry-call-from-the-subject-of-an-article-about-anger-and-abuse/GRACE report:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZXa0sCk9lzmZ_xylztf8fQ995ebmoLFo/viewTNE response to the GRACE investigation:https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHT4jgFvLIU/
